Masiakasaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Masiakasaurus had a slender head and front teeth pointing conspicuously forwards. It was a small Madagascan theropod, considerably more lightly built than the largest predators of its time.

Studies of new bones reconstructed much of its anatomy, including limbs and skull. Tooth structure suggests catching small prey but does not establish a definite food list or exclusive specialisation in fish.
